DOL says injured workers can view, print and save their complete FECA case through ECOMP after registering and verifying their identity. Use the official portal and its current injured-worker instructions. This guide focuses on obtaining and organizing existing records for your own review or a medical appointment. Source: DOL FECA FAQ, “How do I get a copy of my OWCP file?” (https://www.dol.gov/agencies/owcp/FECA/fec-faq).
Start with the official ECOMP account
Open https://www.ecomp.dol.gov/ directly. DOL’s New Case Overview says identity verification is required to access FECA claim information after account registration. Use the current registration and verification prompts rather than instructions copied from an older screenshot. Source: DOL New Case Overview (https://www.dol.gov/agencies/owcp/FECA/newcaseoverview).
Find the injured-worker help instructions
The FECA FAQ directs users to ECOMP’s Help menu and injured-worker user guides for registration and identity-verification assistance. Follow the live guide if the labels or screen layout differ from what you expected. Source: DOL FECA FAQ.
View and save the records for the correct case
DOL’s FECA FAQ identifies ECOMP as the place to view, print or save the complete case. Before saving records, check that you have opened the intended case, particularly if you have more than one injury file. Use the document-viewing and saving controls provided in the current portal. Source: DOL FECA FAQ.
DOL’s case-file access circular also describes online case-file access for claimants and authorized representatives. If someone is assisting you, use the official representative-access process instead of sharing your login.

Organize a useful copy for your medical visit
The following are practical organization suggestions, not additional OWCP filing requirements. Keep an untouched copy of the downloaded material, then prepare a separate working folder for the appointment.
- Label the folder with the date you saved it so you can distinguish it from earlier copies.
- Make a short index of relevant medical reports, OWCP letters and work-status records you find in the file.
- Write down questions about a missing report, an unclear date or a difference between two records.
- Ask the clinic which records it needs and which secure method to use before sending files.
- Keep your ECOMP password and identity-verification information private.
If you cannot see or save a document
Record the exact problem: trouble signing in, an inaccessible case, a document that will not open, or a question about the contents. Use ECOMP’s official Help route for the current instructions. Describe the problem without putting medical records or account details in a public comment.
Avoid treating a technical access problem as a medical conclusion. For questions about what an OWCP letter means for your own case, seek case-specific guidance through the official OWCP contact route or an appropriately qualified representative. This article does not interpret an individual claim decision.
